She died at the residence of her Father, Capt. Chambliss of the slow but certain disease - the Consumption. In the death of this _____ woman, society has been deprived of one of it's brightest ornaments for she possessed all those virtues which makes the sensible sad and dispensed cheerfulness to all about her. She has left a fond and affectionate husband, two infant children, doating parents, ___ and friends, to lament the "chasm which the monster death has made in their family and to mourn a loss, eternally irrepresable. While living, she was at once the pride and the ornament of the circle in which she moved; eagle-eyed Envy could not vent the spleen - for to know was a esteem,love and administer. But Alas she is consigned to the ___ary tomb, and the only consolation, to the mounded ___ of her friends, is that she bore her long and lingering sickness with ___ fortitude, and augered them before her departure, that her spirit would take its flight to a happier place where there is no more sorrow, no more trouble, no more disease. "Blessed are they that die in the Lord, for they cease from their labours and their ___ do ___ them." DIED: At the residence of Mr. A. Blount, in Marengo county, on Monday the 29th uit., Lucy Aurelia, eldest daughter of Robert L. Downman, Esq. of this place, aged 2 years and 14 days. - In the death of this interesting child, her fond parents and connexions are made to moun with the deepest heartfelt sorrow, and are compelled to say - "Thou lovely, blooming, fragile flower, Sweet, smiling solace of an hour; How soon out transient comforts fly, For pleasures only bloom to die." Departed this life, at Hicksford, in the County of Gransville, on Tuesday, the 11th inat., Louisa, daughter of Col. John R. Chambliss, in the 12th year of her age. This little girl was of unusual sprightliness and promise; but, in the moment of her expanding loveliness and intelligence, death has made her its victim. Her pure spirit is now, no doubt, in an abode of endless bliss. May this relection support the distressed and heart stricken parents under their heavy affliction, and may they look forward with pleasing appreciation to a re-union with their darling child in a brighter and better world than this. OBITUARY. ****"Lay them in the Earth, And from their fair and unpolluted forms Let violets spring." Died, on the 26th of January last, of Scarlet Fever, Roberta, youngest child of John R. and Sarah Chambliss, of Hicks' Ford, Va., aged 2 years and 17 days, and, on the 10th of Fenruary, James William, youngest son of the same, aged 4 years, 4 months and 3 days. Thus, in the short space of one month, have two lovely children been snatched from the embraces of fond and doating parents. James William was an interesting child; and the dawnings of a strong and vigorous intellect, which he discovered, particularly rendered him to the hearts of this fond parents and their friends; but a merciful Providence has removed him from this scene of light and shade, to that better country, where free from all earthly obstruction, the memorial mind will expand amid the increasing glories of the better world. It is painful, at all times, to see those we love fall around us like "the sear and yellow leaf of Autumn": but especially so, when our own firesides are invaded by the visitation of Death, and our hearth-stone rendered desolate by the absence of those whose laugh still rings in our ears, or whose infantile prattle is still impressed upon our memory. When the old die, it seems natural. When the monarch of the forest, who has braved the lightning and the storm for uncounted years falls before the blast, or is riven by a thunderbolt, we feel that time has prepared it for the change; but when the tender flower of early spring is nipt by an untimely frost, or its opening petals shaken by the breath of the storm, we feel that Nature has been arrested in the development of her beauty, and we are reminded that we are in a land of blight and change. Thus we meditate as we chronicle the doings of Death that have called forth this obituary. Two little ones have appeared for one moment upon the stage of life, and untimely frost has nipped them in the bud, and they have been gathered to the tomb - but to bloom in more noble soil, and beneath brighter skies. Let the mourning ones who are left "weep not as those who have no hope." Religion tinges with its own immortal hues the clouds of death and teaches that while their little ones cannot return to Earth, they can go to them, for Jesus has said "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
